When you have a skipped (blank) numeric value in CSPro the system assigns it the special value NOTAPPL. When you sum a group of values that includes a NOTAPPL value the sum also becomes NOTAPPL. You should exclude the NOTAPPL values. You can write the logic as follows: x6a = 0 ; if s5a1 <> notappl t...

It would be easier to keep everything in one file and add a date variable to each case that you fill in using sysdate(). Then you can run frequencies or tables using the date to create reports.

Why do you need a separate file for each day?

This is during sync? If so please post the .pnc file and the synclog.txt file from the csentry directory of the device.

Here is what the different files contain: .dat: the data itself (always copy this file) .dat.not: field notes (copy this if your interviewers use field notes) .dat.sts: partial save status (you can copy this if you want to know which cases are part...

If the photo file is not in the CSEntry directory you will need to use...

The index needs be in parentheses after the group name i.e. PERSON(curocc()) and not after the label as you have it. In addition setocclabel requires the group name (name of the roster) and not the name of the dictionary record. Without seeing your app I cant tell if PERSON is the group name but if ...
